Current streaks

Recent form

Hellas Verona

Hellas Verona are experiencing a challenging period in Serie A, currently languishing in 17th position with just 12 points from 14 matches. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with five defeats in their last six games, including a current run of three consecutive losses. The team's defensive frailties are glaringly evident, having conceded a whopping 18 goals in their last six matches, an average of three per game. This is further highlighted by their 11-game streak without a clean sheet. Two notably high-scoring encounters stand out: a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Inter Milan and a 6-1 drubbing by Atalanta. Despite these defensive woes, Verona have shown some attacking promise, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over AS Roma, which stands as their sole win in this period.

Empoli

Empoli's recent form has been mixed, with their last six games yielding one win, three draws, and two losses. The team has struggled offensively, scoring only five goals in these matches, averaging a meagre 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been more vulnerable, conceding 10 goals at an average of 1.67 per game. Their goal difference of -5 reflects this imbalance. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. The standout result is their 3-0 loss to AC Milan, which contributed significantly to their goals conceded tally. Despite these challenges, Empoli have managed to secure 10th position in the league, suggesting they've been resilient enough to maintain a mid-table standing despite their recent inconsistent form.

Recent home/away form

Hellas Verona

Hellas Verona's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the side struggling to find stability at their own ground. The Gialloblu have managed two wins in their last six home matches, but have also suffered four defeats, including a heavy 5-0 loss to Inter Milan in their most recent outing. Notably, their home games have been high-scoring affairs, with all six matches seeing over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 4 goals per game. Verona have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these encounters, conceding a worrying 2.83 goals per game on average. The 5-0 defeat to Inter Milan stands out as a particularly poor result, while their 3-2 victory over AS Roma was their highest-scoring win. Despite their defensive frailties, Verona have managed to find the net in four of their six home games, suggesting they can pose a threat going forward.

Empoli

Empoli's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to secure victories on the road. They have managed just one win in their last six away matches, coming in the Coppa Italia against Torino. The team's resilience is evident in their three draws, including a notable 2-2 result against Fiorentina in their most recent away fixture. However, Empoli have been vulnerable defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these six matches and conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their attacking output has been moderate, with 1.17 goals scored per game, contributing to a high percentage (83%) of matches where both teams have found the net. Interestingly, two-thirds of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for more open, high-scoring affairs on their travels.
